If you have a strong interest in the environmental problems faced by humans and the social and political aspects of their solutions, you'll want to look into the environmental sciences major at Berry College. The major is an interdisciplinary program for the study of the earth's environment and human interactions with it. Because it provides an in-depth understanding of environmental issues, the curriculum most frequently prepares students for graduate study in environmental or related sciences. It also can prepare you to enter careers in environmental consulting, public health, hazardous waste handling, parks and recreation, environmental planning, land assessment, industrial hygiene, corporate environmental management, federal and state environmental protection, federal and state fish and wildlife service, waste management, toxicology, and urban planning.
Required classes
The environmental sciences major offers a flexible combination of courses that allows you to have both a broad curriculum and one that is highly personalized.
Unmatched facilities
Berry's state-of-the-art science building, with its spacious classrooms and laboratory facilities, serves as headquarters for the environmental sciences major. But learning doesn't end in the classroom! Located in the Southern Appalachian foothills of Northwest Georgia, the Berry College campus comprises 27,000 acres, making it the largest contiguous college campus in the world. There are vast tracts of forest as well as meadows, lakes and streams. The wide variety of habitats on campus enables students to study many diverse ecosystems with ease. In addition, the Chattahoochee National Forest borders the campus, and wild natural areas, such as Marshall Forest and Blacks Bluff, are in close proximity. The Oostanaula River flows through the campus, and its confluence with the Etowah River to form the Coosa River is only three miles downstream. These rivers support ample opportunities for studies of aquatic systems. Other on-campus facilities include horticulture, beef and dairy cattle operations; an equine center; and a protected wildlife area.
Expansive opportunities
Students in the environmental sciences program have opportunities for internships, directed or independent studies, and cooperative research with faculty. Summer studies at the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory in Ocean Springs, Miss., or the Highlands Field Station in Highlands, N.C., are available.
Environmental activities
You might choose to become involved with conservation organizations, both on campus and within the local community. These include Students Against Violating the Earth, which focuses on beautifying the Berry campus and keeping its environment clean, and the Coosa River Basin Initiative, a grassroots environmental organization aimed at creating a clean, healthy and economically viable Coosa River.
Financial aid for environmental sciences studies
In addition to the many scholarships made available to Berry College students in general, two scholarships are specifically designated for students who demonstrate strong interest in or concern for the environment. The Robert F. Maddox and Mary French Rockefeller scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis each year to a number of students. You will have many opportunities to work on campus – there are more than 300 different types of jobs! Environmental sciences students can learn while they earn by gaining on campus employment in water treatment, agriculture, horticulture, recycling or animal husbandry – or by working as a research assistant. All students are eligible to participate in Berry's voluntary student Work Experience Program.

NBA Preview 2013-14: New faces to impact Pacific
SI.com is previewing every division ahead of the 2013-14 NBA season. We've already looked at the Central, Atlantic and Southeast. Up next, the Pacific Division, where two teams on the rise look to take the next step this season.
Really, their top addition was coach Doc Rivers, who arrived from Boston in June and immediately convinced free agent Chris Paul to re-sign. Now, Rivers is turning his substantial powers of persuasion on DeAndre Jordan, prodding the long-armed center to become the rim protector and back-line stopper the Clippers desperately need. They will have a more balanced offense, with Redick and Jared Dudley spacing the floor more effectively than Chauncey Billups and Caron Butler, allowing Paul and Griffin to run their pick-and-rolls. But the Clips' offense hasn't been the problem. Their title hopes will hinge on the development of Jordan and Griffin as defensive anchors in the mold of Kevin Garnett and Kendrick Perkins under Rivers in Boston. The Clippers do not have a Big Three, just one extraordinary point guard, plus two promising but occasionally disappointing big men. Rivers is responsible for hardening them into a solid core.
The skinny: The Clippers know what to expect from Paul, but for this season to be a success, Griffin must take the leap into superstardom and Jordan must become an able complement.
Besides Dwight Howard, Iguodala was the most impactful free agent to switch teams this summer, a defensive stopper and capable ball-handler who can match up with the league's premier scorers and should excel in Golden State's breakneck offense. The Warriors roster is loaded with wings -- Iguodala, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes -- so they should be able to run opponents ragged playing small. But their front-court isn't flimsy, either, featuring All-Star David Lee at power forward and Andrwe Bogut at center. With Curry and Bogut, health is always a major factor, but if they're at full strength Golden State could easily wrest this division from the Clippers. They have the shooting, depth, size, versatility and experience, after toppling the Nuggets in the first round and challenging the Spurs. Curry is not just a sniper anymore. He is a legitimate headliner with enough help to take this group deep into the playoffs.
The skinny: Like any team with an overload of talent, the Warriors will have to settle on an identity, whether they go small in crucial moments with Iguodala, Thompson or Barnes, or big with Bogut and Lee.
Even without Howard, the Lakers still boast three future Hall of Famers in Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol, but they are all deep into their thirties and coming off major injuries. Nash and Gasol will be ready for Opening Night, but there is no timetable yet on Bryant's return from a ruptured Achilles tendon. The Lakers loaded up this summer on first-round flameouts, from Wesley Johnson to Xavier Henry, and someone will find new life in Mike D'Antoni's offense. But how are the Lakers going to stop anybody? They were poor defensively last season, even when they had Howard protecting the paint, and now they don't even have a reasonable facsimile. If Bryant returns quickly, and Nash and Gasol stay healthy, they could squeeze into the playoffs. But that's far from certain with players of this age. The Lakers are one serious setback or injury away from the lottery.
The skinny: The Lakers are playing for next summer, when their big contracts come off the books, and if they struggle they could start the salary dump early.
For the first time in nearly a decade, things are looking up in Sacramento, thanks to a new downtown arena deal, a new ownership group headed by Vivek Ranadive, a new general manager in Pete D'Allesandro and a new coach in Mike Malone. They also have a new pass-first point guard, a foreign concept for Sacramento, in Vasquez. With Tyreke Evans now in New Orleans, the one major holdover in Sacramento is DeMarcus Cousins, whom the Kings re-signed, in hopes that he can reach All-Star status. Regardless of Cousins and his development, the Kings are not a playoff team yet, having squandered nearly seven years of lottery picks. At this point, fans must be content that the franchise will be in Sacramento, with a plan for a brighter future.
The skinny: The Kings are staying and so is Cousins. They invested in him and now he must do the same in them, proving that he can lead the club forward.
They finished with the worst record in the Western Conference last season and they won't be any better this time around, having lost three of their top six scorers -- trading Scola to the Pacers, Dudley to the Clippers and releasing Michael Beasley. At least the Dudley deal netted Eric Bledsoe, a 23-year-old runaway train, who might have been the most exciting backup point guard in the NBA. Now, Bledsoe will be counted on to start, but he won't have to handle the ball all the time. The Suns are going to experiment with a two-point guard lineup that highlights Bledsoe and Goran Dragic, who led the team in points, assists and steals last season. Seeing how Bledsoe and Dragic fit is the one reason to watch the Suns. They are an intriguing combination, with Bledsoe's strength and speed complementing Dragic's shooting and vision.
The skinny: First-year general manager Ryan McDonough has gutted the team for the future and the most interesting moment of the season will come on lottery night.
He excelled as a rookie in last year's playoffs, especially as an undersized power forward in a small-ball lineup, but his role becomes uncertain with the arrival of free agent swingman Andre Iguodala. The Warriors have successfully developed young guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, but coach Mark Jackson will be challenged to do the same with Barnes, who showed much promise as a rookie and is only entering his second year. He cannot get stuck between Iguodala and Lee.
Rivers believes Jordan can become one of the best interior defenders in the NBA and he certainly has the tools: long arms, great leaping ability, tons of energy. But the 6-foot-11 Jordan has been in the league five years and has yet to realize his potential. The Clippers can't even keep him on the floor late in games because of his woeful free-throw shooting. If you want to gauge Rivers' impact, look no farther than Jordan.
The Clippers and Warriors will become the next great NBA rivalry.

Buffalo >Beauty > Kiddie Cuts & More
6164 Sheridan Dr, Buffalo, NY | Directions 1422142.978696 -78.704405
Great haircuts! – I have been taking my son since his first haricut, and I have been very satisfied. The only time he got a haircut elsewhere they ruined wis hair. They fixed it a Kiddie Cuts & More. It is unfair to give bad review to a place you have never been to, and to post said bad review twice is particularly mean. I have been very satisfied with the service at Kidddie Cuts & More The store is adorable, and has a great wooden train table that my son does not want to leave after his haircut.
Owner writes her one and only review? Fabricated? – If I'm not mistaken, aren't you the owner of this shop? You do not have any young children and you've used your real name. This review has made my decision to go to Kids Cuts R Fun on Main St./Harris Hill. Grayce seems honest and very good with kids and cutting their hair with a nice big play area as well. I find it tough to trust a place where the only review is from the owner, herself.
Wonderful children's haircuts!!!! – This is such a darling shop for children. It was such a nice experience for my two children. There is a play area for the children and they sit on these adorable animals while they get their hair cut. And my two children got the best haircut they ever received. I would highly recommend kiddie cuts and more. If you would like to see the inside of the ship visit the website kiddiecutnmore

Alas and alack, America has perverted this wonderful metaphor for human unity.
The killing of Trayvon Martin brought the country's residual ugliness into focus.
One freedom-loving racist, who's been sending me stuff for years, forwarded a photo purported to be the "real" Trayvon Martin -- a hairy, burly, muscular tattooed dude scowling at the camera.
I did a quick web search and sent my redneck reader a diplomatic question: Do you ever verify stuff you get before you send it back out?
That photo has sometimes been accompanied by text accusing the dead 17 year-old of being somewhere between Al Capone and Charles Manson. Actually, the guy in the shot is a 32-year-old rapper named The Game. For the first time ever, my benighted correspondent apologized, but the vaccination didn't take. He began sending out the same picture with new vitriol a few days ago.
Addiction is an ugly thing to behold.
Several others ranted that all the attention to the Trayvon case violates the rights of other victims, namely white and Latino kids, who have been murdered but lack the same media favor.
They unknowingly parallel the rationale for equal protection under the law, something that minorities enjoy diminishing chances of achieving.
These good people apparently don't realize that media parity is not a solution.
In all the billions of words written and spoken on the Trayvon tragedy/travesty, the bottom line has apparently been overlooked: Guns just make it too damned easy to kill somebody.
There are a lot of people that should never have one, but that's bad for sales.
Universal background checks would just provide another Band-Aid on a gushing gunshot wound.
The solution is simple, macro not micro.
End the lost war on drugs and stop having government act as a price support system for the abuse business. Invest in treatment to reduce the customer base.
Cut the War Department budget and plow the money into education.
Expanded economic opportunity represents the closest thing to a cure-all for the ills of society. But such enlightenment would involve dismantling the military- and prison-industrial complexes.
We've got so much money invested in the various profit centers of our increasingly efficient killing machines that the republic itself stands endangered.
If there's more money in treating disease than curing it, there will never be a cure.
Our perverted priorities have resulted in governments at all levels becoming increasingly impotent to provide for their constituents.
Great Depression Part Deux has been narrowly avoided because of government deficit spending. The patient still lies in ICU.
If GD2 finally happens, we may all need guns.
Esté bien. Haga infierno.
Be well. Raise hell.

Ok so Chris and his new website although interesting wouldn't solve your issue and isn't really all that helpful but it is one way of choosing a domain name, so how do you choose a domain for your travel blog?
If it was still 2010 I would suggest a emd (exact match domain) that mirrored a decent search return however this time has long gone and we need to move with the times.
Using your own name
This is a decent option and most likely the domain will be available to register unless you are called Brad Pitt, Winston Churchill or Kelly Clarkson! even if you did have a popular name there are now so many suffixes available it still would be a possibility.
Choosing your own name is a good idea if:
* You only want to share your work with people you know
* You would like to build a brand around yourself
If you do decide to use your name it will probably be worth adding to it so people can tell what your site is about.
If you name was Brian Jones you could register brianjonestravelblog .com/.co.uk/.net depending on where you live or who you are trying to attract to your site (if anyone at all)
Creating a brand name
Out of all the options I could list creating your own brand is by far the best suggestion and will endeavour to be future proof.
Deciding on a brand name for your travel blog is going to take a little bit of time but the best thing is you can get very creative with the name, ideally it should be easy to remember, catchy, short "ish" relates to travel (if possible) but most of all a name you like personally.
I have thought of a name now what do I do?
Well done, you are now on your way to starting a professional blog but is the name available?
You need to check to see if the name is available to register, I use namecheap to register all my domains because it's the cheapest place to buy a domain name and the user interface is very easy to use, if you ever have a problem you can get customer support 24/7
Go to namecheap to see if your name is available click here

Apart from myself, here are my trusty sidekicks... I do all the admin, and of course go along on all the escorted tours, but these guys provide that extra pair of hands, or bit of guiding, needed when I have more than 8-10 riders to look after. "See one, do one, teach one......" Scott (above left) was a customer in 2002, and my right hand man for the 2003 Alps trip. His claim to fame is getting his kneedown on a French roundabout, with all his luggage and camping gear strapped on the back.
Update - sadly, Scott lost his life in a boat tragedy off Bahrain last week (30th March 05). He'll be sorely missed. See tribute on right hand side of this page.

This may sound crazy, but we do live in a country that holds congressional hearings to investigate steroids in baseball, and let's not forget Arlen Specter and Spygate.

This one-man show directed by Leonard Foglia. is based on the inspiring real-life story Thurgood Marshall, an exceptional man who rose from the slums of Baltimore to become the first African American US Supreme Court Judge.

Running at an easy 90 minutes, theater-goers will experience history in a thoughtful and entertaining light, leaving with a pleasant patriotism toward not only America, but our history as well. The show, which is written by George Steven Jr, accurately depicts Thurgood's triumphant story while showcasing the positivity and efforts of a true American Hero.

5K, 10K, Music and More Featured at April 10 Event
DALLAS, Feb. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The White Rock Lake Conservancy in cooperation with the City of Dallas Park and Recreation Department will host Celebration! White Rock, a one-night race and festival, on Thursday, April 10, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Celebration! White Rock will feature a 5K race, a 10K race, music and more. Race registration is at celebrationwhiterock.org.
"White Rock hosts hundreds of events every year, from marathons and training runs to family reunions and birthday parties," says Bill Mateja, chairman of the White Rock Lake Conservancy. "This is an event dedicated to celebrating the lake itself. White Rock is the largest urban park in the nation, larger even than New York's Central Park. It deserves its own party."
Celebration! White Rock's Inaugural Sponsor and race organizer is Luke's Locker. The Dallas-based running and fitness leader has a well-earned reputation for affiliating with well-organized and entertaining events. Comerica, Doctors Hospital at White Rock Lake, Banowetz + Company, Inc., Standing Dog Interactive and Androvett Legal Media & Marketing have signed on as corporate sponsors.
"We would like to see this become an annual event that gets bigger each year," says event co-chair Mike Androvett. "White Rock needs our support. It's enjoyed by more than 1 million visitors each year and it's our city's most valuable natural resource."
Proceeds from the event will benefit improvement projects at the park, including the Stone Tables and Pavilion, reconstruction of fishing piers, and other much-needed infrastructure projects.
"These projects will greatly enhance the enjoyment and aesthetics of the park, as well as the safety and functionality," says event co-chair Dave Pastre. "White Rock Lake is an important part of our city's history, and Celebration! White Rock will help us restore and commemorate it."
The White Rock Lake Conservancy was founded in 2008 by a group of park enthusiasts to enhance the identity, beauty and safety of White Rock Lake in cooperation with Dallas Park and Recreation and other neighborhood and lake volunteer groups. For more information, visit celebrationwhiterock.org or contact Mike Androvett (email@example.com or 214-559-4630) or Sara Quarterman (email@example.com or 214-728-7879).

The Accreditation Council for CME's policy is to share the list of accredited providers achieving exemplary compliance and the areas in which the highest achievement was received, provided the accredited organization has agreed to share their best practices with their CME colleagues. This information has been most helpful to the professional community since the accreditation actions have become public knowledge, and providers wishing to made programmatic improvements can contact the program officials listed. This does not hold true for other accreditation decisions and actions.
When organizations re-apply or initially apply for ACCME accreditation, they are asked to classify their organization by type, such as communication company, school of medicine, hospital, professional member organization, and so forth. Each organization is free to choose from the list of organizations provided. The question remains, how do the accredited providers fare in terms of accreditation actions across provider groups? I suggest that it would be beneficial to the CME professional community to have the aggregated data reported by classification type and accreditation action. We would then see by classification category how many organizations received exemplary compliance, compliance, partial compliance, and non-compliance in each Essential Area and Element. By reporting the data using this method, the identity of the outliers could be kept confidential, but the affiliated professional organizations, such as the Society for Academic CME, The North American Association of Medical Education and Communication Cos., the Association for Hospital Medical Education, etc., could identify the number of organizations needing assistance, and develop continuing professional activities that could aid their constituents. This would not only benefit the specific professional organizations, but the larger professional community as well.

We hardly ever watch TV, but we learned about this PBS mini-series just in time to see the two parter on Gustav Mahler.
OK, he was a gifted musician, but what we really came away with was this:
Michael Tillson Thomas is a very special communicator. His facial expressions, his body movements, he must be a giant, certainly intimidating, with whom to work.
Those professional instruments really shone on HDTV, unlike the plastic upon which we screached in the high school marching band, which makes me wonder:
Do professional musicians practice with their concert tools?
I mean, will a violin soloist subject a megabuck Strad to countless hours of wearing and tearing?

Chicago >Food & Dining > Victory's Banner Restaurant
2100 W Roscoe Village, Chicago, IL | Directions 6061841.938503 -87.686547
Wed-Mon: 8am-4pm
Neighborhoods: Roscoe Village, North Side
Vegan options abound but thankfully, this place doesn't shove it's meatless ways down your throat. The tofu scramble is mighty tasty, as are the fruit-studded pancakes. Do NOT miss the chai tea!
Mmmmm mmmm, thank you to my Pilates instructor for introducing me to this vegetarian/vegan paradise with the best Chai tea in town.
Again, excellent food, slow service! – Not quite sure what the whole scene is about, but if local yuppies overlook the bizarre atmosphere to get their weekly brunch, you know the food must be good! Hands down, the best breakfast restaurant in the city. Just be prepared for slow service -BUT IT is worth the wait.
Peace, love and French toast: This blissed-out vegetarian place has it all. – The Scene
A yuppie bohemian crowd gathers at this sunny breakfast and lunch spot in Roscoe Village. Owner Pradhan Balter has been a student of meditation for more than 35 years, and it shows in the room's spiritual vibe. Servers wear saris, while books on inner peace line shelves around the small room. Other than that, it's like any other good morning spot--relaxed, friendly service, mellow atmosphere and delicious food.
The Food
There's enough tofu, soy and egg-less, meat-less dishes on this menu to satisfy any vegan. Along with veggie burgers and "Neatloaf," Victory's Banner tempts with pancakes, three-egg (free-range, hormone-free) omelettes, and thick, piping-hot French toast with peach butter and real maple syrup. Vermont cheddar adds tang to a broccoli and soy sausage omelette; other toppings include spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and five other cheeses. Grab a fresh-made chocolate muffin or cookie on your way out the door--they're dessert nirvana.

Great weekend brunch spot!! – I really enjoyed this place. The food was delicious - my plate was completely licked clean after a few short bites. I recommend the eggless wonder but my friend had an omelette which he said was amazing too. Friendly staff and great, sunny ambiance located in a cute neighborhood, to boot. You won't be disappointed!
Delicious food, great service-wonderful breakfast – I have heard about Victory's Banner for too long from too many people, so I finally made my way over to Roscoe Village to give it a try. Well, it was just excellent in every way. I always include a sample of simple scrambled eggs as a "test standard." When do you remember ever saying "God, these eggs are delicious!"? The waiter explained that VIctory's Banner uses free~range eggs and cook in clarified butter. Everything is cooked fresh. The folks I was with also sampled the pesto-goat cheese omelet, satisfaction-promise (which delivers on its name), and we all shared an order of the "Award Winning" French Toast. My declaration BEST FRENCH TOAST IN THE CITY. Coffee is rich, chai is the real thing (not a steamed tea bag). Service was great and friendly. I left happy. It has become my favorite breakfast house.
Received no service – Great breakfast food especially for vegetarians. I've eaten here before and had a good experience except the last time I went, I was ignored by the wait staff for 10-15 minutes while other customers coming in after me were greeted and got seated immediately. I did not feel welcomed at all. I spoke with the owner/manager regarding this treatment and when she asked who was suppose to seat customers, no one knew. I left without ever receiving any service. That will be my last visit.
A Perfect Way to Start Your Morning – I?ve been here a few times and it has always been a great experience. The service is excellent and the food even better. I usually order French toast topped with fresh (yes, fresh) berries and scrambled egg whites with a variety of add-in?s. They don?t skimp on the berries, so my husband usually ends up finishing off my eggs. It?s a much better experience than many other popular breakfast restaurants which tend to create a hectic vibe from the initial wait and seating, all the way to the check comes. This place allows you to relax and enjoy your food. This means prompt, friendly service with a relaxed attitude.
Excellent Eats – Victory's Banner is awesome. If you're going on the weekend, make like the staff and zen out as soon as you walk thru the door because there will be a wait (10-40 mins). Put your name on the list and walk to Starbucks to get a paper or check out the thrift store or trendy shops across the street. Once you get a table, you're in for a treat. Sure to please are the raspberry french toast, omlettes, the Satisfaction Promise or Erin's Eggless Wonder. All the eggs they use are free-range (Phil's Farm Fresh). For lunch you can't beat the bacon cheeseburger. Vegan? Just tell them and they'll make your dish to order. The tofu scramble is a fantastic vegan dish. They recently added a few new wraps to the menu and I hope they keep them on there ~ the avocado, bacon, lettuce, tomato wrap is outstanding.
In the summer you can bring your dog and eat at the tables outside. The only frustrating thing about this restaurant is that the staff takes retreats a couple times a year, so if you're a regular it can be frustrating when you go all the way over there and find the place closed. But that's what you get for not calling ahead I guess.
One of the best egg breakfast we've ever had! – The Chai was probably the best I've had in Chicago. If you're a tea lover, definitely have the chai! We had the caramelized onion omelette, curry omelette and choc chip pancakes. Caramlized omellete was absolutely delicious, the curry omelette was good but the sauce was sweet. Pancakes were ok. The waitstaff was very simple and down-to-earth, no attitude here. The owner Pradhan was friendly as well. The ambience was laid back, warm and friendly. The prices were reasonable, in line with other breakfast/pancake places. We will definitely be going back soon!
At the pinnacle... – Were in awe of VB...
Everything we tried was absolutely wonderful, hot and fresh tasting. Our omelet was bursting with flavor, packed with goat cheese, FRESH spinach and peppers.
The special rasberry and mascarpone french toast was delightful too. It came hot, was perfectly textured, not too sweet or tart.
A perfect breakfast isn't complete without a few strong yet smooth cups of coffee. VC delivers, as with everything else. Big cups of strong, flavorful joe, the ideal morning cure!
The decor is light and airy, soothing even. Flowing shapes, soft atmospheric lighting, and soft colors definitely make for a relaxing morning repast. Equally impressive? The service - unfailingly positive, prompt and polite. Oh, I almost forgot, the prices are outstanding. I would have paid more, and still thought it was a bargain.
Overall, we can't recommend VB enough. It stands alongside Tre Kronor as our favorite breakfast spot.
Great Breakfast – My family and I really enjoyed the food! My Brother and my daughter had the pancakes which were fantastic (they let me have one small taste). I had the french toast and that butter was great, the french toast was very filling. I really liked the food and it was nice to know that the food was healthy! I have one small complaints and that is the COFFEE and the service.The coffee was way too strong, just awful! Our experience was Great, The Food is Fantastic and we will definitely will be back!

|Flame Type:
|Quad Torch
|Black, Brown
|Ignition Type:
"I call this my hand grenade When you light this up you get a lot of WOWs and it throws off major heat from four (4) individual flames. It is not small by any means yet it is powerful and holds a ton of fuel If you get tired of the small lighters running out of fuel invest in this. The first one I had I dropped in a 12ft pool while getting it out to light a friends cigar. The top was open and it sat in the water for 5min before we got it out Of course it did not work so I took it home and turned it upside down and left it in my garage. I ordered a new one the next day and that night I walked by the one in the garage and gave it a try. 2 of the 4 burners work! The next day all 4 burners worked (not as good a before I dropped it in the pool) but still worked and I keep it in my car. The new one stays at my house. I will now always own two (2) of these lighters I never thought the one I dropped in the pool would keep going and going and going… Great lighter "
"Used my $10 gift card to get this lighter. What a great buy! I've gotten lots of raves from my fellow cigar club members for "Big Mama". Had it for about two months now. It lights up every time. Because it's so big, it holds a lot of fluid. With the four flame design, it lights up a cigar nice and even. It's also a one-step action lighter, meaning you just slide down the button and the top flips open and lights up. I highly recommend this lighter."
"Lights your cigar fast and even. This is a awesome lighter and a must have. Plus you feel like a boss lighting your cigar with something that looks like a F-15 fighter jet back burner!"
"Great lighter. I routinely get the first tee time of the day with my golf group, year round, and this is the first lighter I've found that always works well, regardless of how damp, cold, or windy it is."

Taking "make learning fun" to heart, Global Events Partners, a network of destination management companies from all over the world, hosted 80 meeting and incentive planners in June for three days of learning, networking, and just plain fun.
GEP's 3rd Annual Executive Retreat, held in Beaver Creek and Vail, Colo., was aimed at letting GEP's salespeople (from 46 independent DMCs all over the world), as well as executives from GEP's sister company Krisam, a site selection firm, get to know 80 of their best clients.
Along the way, the planners learned about the destinations represented by the DMCs. In an outrageous rendition of "The Weakest Link," orchestrated by host Steve Kemble of Steve Kemble Event Designs, eight meeting planner contestants tried to answer questions about the destinations represented. Kemble, donning an auburn wig, long black coat, shiny black pointy-toed boots, and perpetual pursed-lips, rewarded tables assigned to each "weak link" with such prizes as Milk Duds "for a dud of a performance." In the end, Mary Hunter, from U.S. Motivation in Atlanta, won the game through shrewd strategy.
The previous day, another TV show parody, this one based on Barbara's Walter's "The View," got planners talking about work/life issues in the meetings industry. Betsy Bair, editorial director, Technology Meetings, played host.
A variety of recreational activities, including white-water rafting, golf, and fly fishing, followed the morning educational sessions, with memorable themed banquets each evening.
To orchestrate the event, GEP enlisted the help of the Pines Lodge and the Inn at Beaver Creek, Vail Cascade, Sonnenalp, and the Lodge at Vail. Said GEP Operations Director, Sandy Ruckstuhl, "I couldn't have built a more competent and efficient dream team than those already employed by the Vail CVB, Colorado Mountain Express transportation, and the hotel management staffs assigned to our retreat."


text: I tried turning off KuroLink and have had all sorts of problems turning the amp back on. After a period of time being off, the amp will not respond to the remote to power on. The only way to power on then is to go up and hit power on the box. If you turn it off and then turn it on shortly after, it will power on. It is like there is some "green" function that takes it out of standby after x time. I put the Kurolink back on but have not had a chance to really test the behavior since then. Very strange. Anyone else seen this sort of thing?

For Release A.lV.i. 's Sunday, June 2, 1957
Addre sa of Senator Mike l'v.iansfield of Montana
Commencement Exercises, Clarke College, Dubuque, Iowa
3:00 P.M., Saturday, June 1, 1957
It is customary on occasions such as this for the speal,er to begin his
remarks with some light-hearted comment. He might refer, for example, to the
fact that his wife had been on this campus as a young student several years aso!
Or he might comrr.ent on his own days in college,
Usually by the time such comments have been exhausted, the commence-ment
address is far enough along so that the more restless graduates -- or their
parents --are looking for the nearest exit. Thereafter, those portions of the
address which the speaker is likely to think are the most important may not
receive much attention,
I propose to reverse that procedure today and plunge immediately into
my subject, I may mal~e some assertions without proof of their validity, But
bear with me for twenty minutes and I will try to tie these remarks into a bundle
you may carry with you for the next few years, There may even be some time
left to te 11 you what a fine lookine group of graduates you are ..
Your Place in History
There are two periods in the life of man (and I use the word "man" in its
generic sense) when he is likely to contemplate his place in history,
First, he is expected to thin~.;: of his potential contribution to history when
he e raduate s from college.
Second, he is likely to think of his contribution to history when he begins
to thin!' of death,
Mike Mansfield Papers: Series 21, Box 38 , Folder 73, Mansfield Library, University of Montana.

Iviost of the rest of the time, however, man is so occupied with livinG -he
is so close to the stirring event of life itself -- that he is usually not able to
assess his impact on history,
I was once a school teacher, During those years, I discovered that the
tirr.e to teach a student something was when he was payinc attention, I believe
you are attentive today because this is one of the moments in your personal life
history when you are ready to learn and to plan ,
There is one simple thought that I want to leave with you. It is this:
Every man and woman has an opportunity to leave his or her mark on
the history of the human race,
The Pyramid of Life
If we could somehow visualize the history of mankind as a total, it might
lool~ something like a pyramid -- perhaps a pyramid of people -- or of ideas -piled
one on the other,
The essential of any pyrarLid which can be built to its apex is that it
rest on a sound foundation,
The foundation for this pyramid of life is that it rests on man1s belief
in God, It is by that belief that man lmows his contributions will not be lost for
any divine reason, He l~nows the foundation will not fail, If man's contribution
is to be lost, it will be because of man1 o failure, not Gocl1 s failure .
A second essential of a pyramid is that each stone rest firmly on
another, Lives and ideas must be fitted together so that each succeeding level
of construction rests firmly on the foundation beneath it,
Mike Mansfield Papers: Series 21, Box 38 , Folder 73, Mansfield Library, University of Montana.
- 3 -
Your place in this pyramid is yet to be determined. Determine
it well for I assure you that one day you will be called upon to tell what
you have contributed to mankind. When you are ready to pass from this
life, you must ask yourself: What have I contributed?
You have heard the story of the rich and favored King who asked
a wise Athenian whether he considered the King lucky. The answer
was quick: "How can I tell? You aren't dead yet, 11
And this is, I suppose, a characteristic of the contributions we
make. Their total impact may not be known until we have passed on,
I have been told that one point impressed on men when they are
learning to fly is that they owe their lives to the men who went before
them. The pilot who first flew into a cloud and crashed because he could
not maintain his equilibrium must not have felt that he was making a contribution
to life. But lives sacrificed in all lines of endeavor have contributed
to man 1 s knowledge and growth and have helped to build the pyramid towards
its apex,
All that man is able to do today he owes to what others have done
before him. What man will be able to do tomorrow, he will owe to those
of us who live today.
What Can You Do?
But what can you do? You are but one of billions of people on this
One thing is clear, You can do worse than nothing. You can live a
life that destroys rather than builds. You have the potentia] of becoming a
Mike Mansfield Papers: Series 21, Box 38 , Folder 73, Mansfield Library, University of Montana.

burden on your community. You can force others to take care of you in
the county jail or elsewhere. You can be a source of destructive acts
in your community and not contribute to the growth of mankind. In short,
you can act in such a way as to sap the resources of your community and
require others to devote extra energy to your protection, rather than to
be able to devote themselves to the gro'Wtb of man.
But at the opposite end of the scale from doing nothing or wars e
than nothing, it is also clear to me that you have the potential -- as an
individual of contributing to the advance of mankind.
One of our great contemporary authors has written: "Nothing
was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether
in music, in art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy, Once the
miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it,
but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely
mind of man.
The preciousness of our religion and our government lies in their
ability to preserve and to promote the capability of every individual to
make his unique contribution to the progress of mankind.
None of us can know the contribution he may make toward man's
progress. Some may develop new ideas; others will improve our physical
surroundings; some will influence the lives of their companions; others
will pass their heritage on to children capable of greater contributions than
their parents. We each have the capacity to leave the world a better place
than it was before we arrived in it.
Mike Mansfield Papers: Series 21, Box 38 , Folder 73, Mansfield Library, University of Montana.

Man as an individual has laboriously struggled upward, He understands
things today he did not understand last year or the year before. He
moves ahead step by step. He can continue this progress when his spirit
and mind can operate in freedom. His growth will be stunted if his freedom
is impaired,
It is for this reason that it is so important that we as individuals
and as a sovereign entity shape our destiny toward protecting and promoting
the freedom of this nation.
You young women gathered here today to take an important step in
life are the offspring of a free people. You are here to carry on the
heritage that has been built. You are each fitting yourselves to make
your unique contributions to the progress of mankind.
I have now completed what are the more serious portion of my
remarks. The time has come to stop talking philosflihy and to talk
practicalities, You have jobs ahead of you. You have a community
and a world in which you must live,
The World You Face
What is this world you face? Is it likely to be a peaceful world?
Last year I delivered an address to the graduating students of
Montana State University, I told them that for the first time in my
experience I could state my belief that a world war in their lifetime
might be avoided. I said that I believed this was possible because of
things done by men and women from many nations.
Mike Mansfield Papers: Series 21, Box 38 , Folder 73, Mansfield Library, University of Montana.

I reminded them of the discovery of atomic power -- a discovery
which was a threat and still is -- but which may also be a benefit in
disguise because any nation which might start a war may now reasonably
expect to bring about its own destruction. Nations of the world have
realized in the past two years that another war might destroy all life.
We live at peace as the result of what Sir Winston Churchill has described
as the mutual terror resulting from the threat of atomic destruction.
Two years ago, at the Summit Conference, the United States and
the Soviet Union crystallized an unspoken and unwritten understanding.
The understanding was that nei~her country on pain of self-destruction
could start a major war or permit a situation between other powers to
deteriorate to the point where a major war might threaten.
Today if we get into a world war, it is not likely to be because the
great powers want war, but because they will have slipped into war inadvertently.
Recall, for a moment, the most serious situation of last fall, the
situations in the Middle East. Israeli troops had moved on Suez. France
and Great Britain brought force to bear in the same area. The situation
was fraught with danger that a small war might become a big war.
I cannot go into the details of those historic months. But I call your
attention to the fact that the world stood virtually united in demanding that
the use of force cease. The United States and the Soviet Union --with no
understanding between them --found themselves on the same side. Together
-- unwillingly together -- they worked through the United Nations to
snuff out the fire of military action in the tinder box of the Middle East.
Mike Mansfield Papers: Series 21, Box 38 , Folder 73, Mansfield Library, University of Montana.

I do not attribute the stopping of hostilities in the Middle Eastern
crisis to any great diplomatic finesse on the part of the United States, the
Soviet Union, or any other nation. I attribute it to the overriding, but
unspoken, threat posed by the existence of weapons of mutual terror. These
weapons might inc:.dvertently have been unleashed had the use of force in the
Middle East continued unrestrained.
A. New Summit Meeting?
It has been two years since the President met at Geneva with the
Chiefs of State of France, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union. It
may well be that the time is approaching for another such meeting.
Much has happened in these two years which might shape the thinking
of such a meeting. Britain has a new Prime Minister. President
Eisenhower has been ree.lected by the greatest majority of any President.
The leaders in the Soviet Union have faced the crisis of rebellion in the
satellite nations. The Middle East crisis has warned us all that war lurks
around the corner for nations not ever mindful of the terrible consequences
that might flow from relatively isolated military action.
It seems to me that the people of the earth have the right to expect
that the chiefs of state of these great powers should gather at least once
every two years to discuss the issue of war or peace.
I believe that another Summit Conference will soon be due, and I
suggest a new technique for such a conference. Past conferences of this
kind have been followed by disillusionment and disappointment, I believe
partly because they tried to do too much.
Mike Mansfield Papers: Series 21, Box 38 , Folder 73, Mansfield Library, University of Montana.

Would it not be advisable then in devising an agenda for such a
conference to limit it to one important problem ? Could the nations not
agree, for example, to consider only one question on which agreement
might be expe(:ted?
One of the difficulties in past conferences of this type has been that
the agenda has been aa wide open as the problems that face the great
powers. Such an agenda tends to concentrate discussions on all the problem
areas on which we disagree,
Why could not the Chiefs of State take up just one problem -- a big
one I must admit -- but one upon which there is some chance of agreement 7
Limit Hydrogren Bomb Tests
I have felt for some time now that real progress might be made
toward agreement for the suspension of testing of hydrogen bombs of
great size.
This should not be a wspeneion of tests on our part only. I propose
instead that we endeavor to reach agreement with the Soviet Union and the
United Kingdom on suspendins tests of bombs over a certain strens th leve l,
An agreement of this kind would be self-enforcing. We know from
reading the daily press that our detection devices as well as those of m any
other countries can infallibly detect hydrogen test explosions when the y
exceed a certain size, It follows therefore that if any party t o an agreement.
not to test the biggest bombs were to violate that agreement, the
violation would instantly be known to the entire world.
Mike Mansfield Papers: Series 21, Box 38 , Folder 73, Mansfield Library, University of Montana.
- 9 -
I grant that such an agreement would not be without its dangers. But
I believe that the time has come when the dangers of further uncontrolled
big tests outweigh the dangers of agreement to suspend such tests. Surely
this is an important enough issue for the Heads of State to explore toGether
ways of agreeing to limit or stop altogether the testing of hydrogen bombs
so large that their fallout of radioactive material poses a threat to mankind.
It is a strange thing that the United States which has been the leading
nation in the development of military uses of the atom has somehow failed
to occupy a leadership position in the development of the peaceful uses of
the atom, It is a strange thing that this nation has somehow failed to
convince much of the world that we are in the forefront in seeking to control
the devastating effects of the atom and to put it to peaceful uses.
The time has now come for a vigorous and vital effort, led by the
President of the United States, to begin to roll back the dangers of atomic
The President cannot exert this leadership by occasionally authorizing
his press secretary, Mr. Jim Hagerty, no matter how competent, to
respond to pronouncements by Bulganin or Khrushchev. Neither can Mr.
Dulles counter the propaganda moves of the Soviet Union by authorizing
his press secretary, Mr. Lincoln White, to answer Mr. Gromyko, The
voice of our leaders must be heard, not the voice of their press secretaries.
Mike Mansfield Papers: Series 21, Box 38 , Folder 73, Mansfield Library, University of Montana.

lvioreover, leadership can never be exerted by waiting for the other
side to make a statement to which this nation can then respond .
.P.n essential element of leadership on the part of a man or a nation
is willingness to take the initiative, to move out ahead. Leadership r e quires
imagination and boldness and coolly calculated assessment of alternatives
in any course of action.
Leadership is not based on big talk, big size , or big emotion. I
am sure that you have had experience enough to know that some men are
assumed to be leaders, just because they are big, strong, and have a
powerful voice. But you also know that real leadership among men or
nations is not based on appearances, but rather is based on performance.
Acts speak louder than words, as the saying goes.
There has been a tendency in the past few years for this nation to
rely on words instead of deeds. This situation is illustrated by recent
hearings which were held in the Senate on the annual appropriation for the
U. S. Information Agency, one operating part of which is the Voice of
America. After sitting through some days of hearings when witnesses
testified as to the need for additim al funds to carry the story of America
abroad, I had the impression that much of this agency operates under the
philosophy that if we can just manage to shout louder than anyone else that
we are good and they are bad, we will establish freedom and democracy
throughout the world and Communism will be defeated,
Leadership depends not only upon what we say, but upon what we do .
Reverting to my opening remarks, the pyramid of your life -- the pyramid
of your nation -- can not rest on words alone. It must rest on solid ideas

and acts.
One of the reasons I have commented on what has seemed to me to
be a deterioration in our leadership in the world in the past few years
is the fact that our future as a nation is molded by the present and past,
just as your futures as citizens are molded by the present and the pas.t.
Your world of the past four years has been Clarke College in the heart
of the mid-west. You will carry the impressions of these years, of your
teachers, of this campus, of your fellow students throughout your life.
The same is true of our nation. It1s future is being molded by the
acts of today. Our acts of today are establishing the United States as a
great leader, or as a great failure. Nations rise and fall. The past is
studded with the relics of empires which were unable to adapt themselves
to the new. It is studded with the relics of nations that lived in the glory
of past victories and were never able to face and to deal with the problems
of the present.
Can we look at our nation today and know that we are willing to face
the issues? Are we able to look a fact in the face and recognize it as a
fact ? Or do we look at facts and call them fancies because we aren't
willing to face them ? Do we see the Russians as they are, or as we would
like to think them to be ? Do we recognize the threat of hydrogen weapons,
or do we hide from it'? Do you read the comic section of your newspaper
because you are unwilling to face the hard issues of the editorial page?
Do you say, "Let those in Washington worry about that one --they're the
experts ?"
Mike Mansfield Papers: Series 21, Box 38 , Folder 73, Mansfield Library, University of Montana.
12 -
In asking these questions, I have intentionally mixed to ge the r
those we should ask as a nation with those we should ask as individua l s
because what we are as a group of individuals, we are as a nation. If
we as individuals adopt an attitude of "let George do it, 11 if we as individ-uals
are unwilling to face facts, be honest, and do the best we can with
what we've got, then we as a nation cannot expect to exercise the leader-ship
essential to the creation and maintenance of a world in which free-dom
shall not perish.
My friends and fellow Americans here at Clarke College, it has
been a deep pleasure for me to be with you today, I find I do have time
to tell you that you are a fine looking group of graduates. Indeed, I would
have liked to have taught at this college myself twenty-five years ago. Or
if not, I would certainly have been privileged to be a student at a nearby
and ability
I know that the United States in the hands of such charm/as is
gathered here today will not fail to make its contribution to history.

Rotterdam Maritime Museum broadens its horizons
The Rotterdam Maritime Museum is creating an international platform for the maritime sector.
On 10 September 2012 Mayor Aboutaleb of Rotterdam opened a joint exhibition by the Maritime Museum Rotterdam and the China Maritime Museum in Shanghai. Called 'Routes 1600 – 400 years of marine history between the Netherlands & China', it is about the centuries-old trading relationship between the two countries.
The bond between the Netherlands and China in the maritime industrial sector is already close and this exhibition by the two sister museums is strengthening it further.
The opening was followed by a business event set up by the Maritime Museum Rotterdam in the China Maritime Museum. More than twenty Dutch and Chinese companies and over two hundred of their key business contacts were present, emphasising this maritime relationship even more.
Underlining the cultural link between the cities
The Maritime Museum Rotterdam is working closely with the China Maritime Museum in Shanghai for the joint exhibition. Prized items from the collections of the two museums tell the story of the centuries-long maritime relationship between the Netherlands and China and the many ways in which they influenced each other.
The relationship between the sister port cities of Rotterdam and Shanghai provided the initiative for the joint exhibition. This link has been a very significant one for many years, both economically and culturally. In the 17th century, the Dutch East India Company laid the foundations for maritime cooperation. The maritime sector is still an important link between the two countries in 2012.
Frits Loomeijer, general manager, Maritime Museum Rotterdam says: "This exhibition is a world first. This many excellent pieces from the Netherlands and China have never before been brought together. Being able to open this exhibition in Shanghai is, I feel, a nice cultural gesture to underline the maritime bond between the two cities."
Reception follows exhibition opening
The Rotterdam and China maritime museums organised a business event following the opening of the exhibition. Dutch and Chinese companies such as the Rotterdam Port Authority, Imtech Marine and DSM Dyneema met in the cultural surroundings of the China Maritime Museum in Shanghai. Mr Aboutaleb, the Mayor of Rotterdam, and his counterpart from Shanghai were among the prominent figures at this business event. They had formally opened the exhibition earlier.
Ahmed Aboutaleb, the Mayor of Rotterdam said: "I am extremely proud that we are able to follow up the presentation of the Rotterdam water pavilion at the World Expo in 2010 with a presentation of another important Dutch sector in China. The ports of Rotterdam and Shanghai are key access routes for each other. That comes strongly to the fore in this exhibition about our common history. The maritime and logistics sectors in the Netherlands and China have a great deal to offer each other and a great deal to share. This business event that the Rotterdam Maritime Museum has organised will certainly contribute to improving the profile of the sector and strengthening the business network."
The museum as a bridge builder
Whether it is about the Port of Rotterdam, the offshore industry, short sea, the Rhine and inland navigation or ship building, the core business of the Maritime Museum Rotterdam is telling that story to young and old. The museum is a maritime institute with an international focus, located in the port city of Rotterdam.
The Maritime Museum plays an important role in the maritime sector, both as a link between businesses and as a link to a broader audience. Bringing together partners within the commercial sector from Rotterdam to Shanghai is not only creating a maritime platform, but also provides new stories that the museum can tell its visitors. The Museum combines these stories from maritime practice with relevant unique items from its collection and presents them to over 130,000 visitors every year in easily accessible formats. These visitors often live and work in a port city, yet are unaware of the influence of the port and the maritime world on their own lives.
Fulco Vrooland, director Sales & Marketing IHC Merwede says: "It is a sign of the times that the commercial sector and the cultural world are able to come together. What the Rotterdam Maritime Museum is doing in Shanghai is a prime example of cultural entrepreneurship. The quality of this exhibition and the organisation of the business reception that followed are at such a high level that we are delighted to be associated with it. Encounters like this between companies from the sector create interesting business opportunities for us."
Taking the exhibition to China
Working together with its sister institution the China Maritime Museum in Shanghai, the Maritime Museum Rotterdam presented this exhibition last year in Rotterdam, under the name 'Yin&Jan'. This exhibition was supported by financial contributions from the Municipality of Rotterdam, VSB Fonds, AMPEK, DSM Dyneema, Wärtsilä, the Rotterdam Port Authority and Van Oord. Now in Shanghai, this is the first time that a maritime exhibition of this quality has been seen in China.

What's the difference between diary and journal? They seem like they could mean the same thing, but I'm probably wrong.
I don't know where I heard this (and I even searched google for the source), but I hear people saying, "Girls keep diaries, boys keep journals." I think they both mean the same thing, but you normally wouldn't hear a boy say, "I'm going to write in my diary." They're more likely to say, "I keep a journal."
Diary and Journal are synonyms, but there is an important difference:
A diary is strictly a record of personal and daily experiences. Journal could mean a more general record or logbook but more importantly a technical journal, that is a scientific or industry-related publication/periodical.
Summary: Diary and Journal have the same specific meaning, but journal can have other meanings also.
I kept (summer) diaries and journals a teenager. One summer, I wrote "diary" about random events taking place every few days. A couple summers later, I wrote in journal form, "A Summer's Travels," covering only those portions of my summer that was spent traveling in Europe and Appalachia. The journal was more "topical."

RWJUH Nurses and Meals Among Nation's Highest for Patient Satisfaction
Friday, February 03, 2006
New Brunswick, NJ – Patients rated Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital's nursing care and food among the top two percent in the nation, according to Press Ganey, a company that measures and reports hospital patient satisfaction.
Patients evaluated their satisfaction regarding nurses on a variety of criteria, including friendliness of nurses, promptness of response to call button, nurses' attitudes toward requests, attention to personal needs, skill of nurses and how well nurses kept them informed.
For meals, patients were asked about the quality of the food, temperature of the food, how well a restricted diet was explained and the courtesy of the person who served the food.
RWJUH is one of a handful of hospitals in the nation to have room service dining, in which patients order their meals from extensive, restaurant-style menus and have them delivered to their rooms at times of their own choosing.
Patient satisfaction results also showed The Bristol-Myers Squibb Children's Hospital at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital ranking in the top one percent in the nation. In addition, patients at RWJUH ranked security at the hospital in the top two percent nationally.
The patient satisfaction statistics are from the most current quarter of 2005. The hospital's performance is based on a comparison to similar-sized hospitals in the United States.
The high patient satisfaction scores reinforce the status of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital as one of the region's leading hospitals. In 2005, Consumers Digest ranked RWJUH among the top five hospitals in the nation for patient safety. RWJUH also had more top-rated physicians than any hospital in New Jersey listed in New York magazine and New Jersey Monthly's 2005 "Best Doctors" issues.
About Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital
Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) is a 600-bed academic medical center and the principal hospital of Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, N.J.
RWJUH is an innovative leader in advancing state-of-the-art care. Its Centers of Excellence include cardiovascular care, from minimally invasive heart surgery to transplantation; cancer care; and women's and children's care, including The Bristol-Myers Squibb Children's Hospital (www.bmsch.org).
The hospital is a Level I Trauma Center and serves as a national resource in its ground-breaking approaches to emergency preparedness.
RWJUH has earned significant national recognition for clinical quality and patient safety. It ranks among "America's Best Hospitals," according to U.S.News & World Report's 2012 survey; it is the sixth consecutive year that RWJUH has achieved this prestigious ranking. Also in 2012, U.S.News & World Report ranked BMSCH among the nation's "Best Children's Hospitals." The American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer has rated RWJUH among the nation's best comprehensive cancer centers. The Leapfrog Group rated RWJUH among the 50 exceptional U.S. hospitals, as published in Consumers Digest, and has given the hospital an "A" grade for safety and quality. Harvard University researchers, in a study commissioned by The Commonwealth Fund, identified RWJUH as one of the top 10 hospitals in the nation for clinical quality. RWJUH is a four-time recipient of the prestigious Magnet Award for Nursing Excellence

Take Periodic, Automated Backups Of Multiple USB Drives On Mac
Flash Drive Backup is a $4.99 Mac app that lets you automatically backup a USB drive's content to a folder on your Mac. Think of it as Time Machine on Mac except the backup path is reversed. You save documents to a USB flash drive, and they documents are constantly updated on your Mac. In the event that you forget to save a backup of those files on your Mac and your USB drive gets lost, stolen, corrupted or infected with a virus, you'll have a recent backup of the files and won't lose any data. The app makes sure your Mac isn't cluttered with backups; it regularly monitors the flash drive and backs up the data every 10 minutes, but will delete any backups in excess of three, once they get seven days old.

I'm sort of proud of the family tree I've been creating on Ancestry.com. As I've written about before, I'm taking baby steps to ensure that I document and source as much information as possible. In contrast to my tree on WorldConnect, which contains my entire GEDCOM database, with this tree I've just put out a "skeleton" of the family tree.
Right now, I've been focusing on my maternal line, working with my grandparents and great-grandparents to be sure that I have all facts listed with source citations, and have been adding some photos and other media. My intent is to slowly move back through each generation and add source information. I understand this is Genealogy 101 but when you find yourself going back and re-examining your work with fresh eyes you begin to see things you've missed.
Question for those who use public trees on Ancestry, how many facts do you add to your trees? Besides the birth, death, marriage and census information, do you add the "miscellaneous" facts such as draft registration, mentions in the newspaper, etc?
I've finding that there is much information I either don't have sources for in my Rootsmagic database, or the sources are derivative and I need to seek out the original sources. Too many items I thought I had scanned, I'm realizing that I hadn't, so that adds to my list of things to do. Such fun!

Michigan's Hoke Just Made Texas A&M's Sumlin Look Bad
August 31st, 2012 02:10 PM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Texas A&M
Tags: Apparently Michigan Hoke, College Station, Frank Clark, Louisiana Tech
Hurricane Isaac provided Kevin Sumlin with an early test of his brand of discipline at Texas A&M. Compared to the action taken today by Michigan coach Brady Hoke, Sumlin failed that test.
A&M's new coach had initially suspended starting linebacker Steve Jenkins and backup defensive back Howard Matthews for his squad's season opener with Louisiana Tech. But when Isaac hit Louisiana and the Aggies' Thursday night opener with Louisiana Tech in Shreveport was postponed, Sumlin backpedaled faster than a corner at the NFL combine. Instead of sitting Jenkins and Matthews for A&M's opener — which will now come against Florida in College Station — the coach decided to delay their suspensions. They'll still miss the LaTech game… on October 13th.
Sumlin has not opened up about what those players did to deserve their suspensions, but if it was bad enough to miss the opening game, why alter that plan just because the opener will now be against a better foe? Is that really teaching a lesson to those players and to the team as a whole regarding discipline?
Apparently Michigan's Hoke would think not. His team will face Alabama tomorrow night in what most are viewing as the game of the week in college football. The Wolverines will try to beat the defending BCS champs without starting running back Fitzgerald Toussaint and backup defensive end Frank Clark. Hoke made the call today to suspend his players today.
Toussaint pleaded guilty to drunk driving on Tuesday. Clark stands accused of stealing a laptop computer from a dorm room. Maybe those actions are worse than whatever it was Jenkins and Matthews did to land in Sumlin's semi-doghouse in College Station. Maybe not.
Either way, Hoke comes out looking tough on crime while Sumlin looks rather weak.
"The decision was not easy, but I feel it is in the best interest of this program and for these kids, and that will always be my priority," Hoke said in a press release. "We have choices every day, and you have to be accountable to this program, your teammates, your family and the University of Michigan."
Hoke also added: "It's not always just about football, or a football decision. It's about teaching life lessons, and if this helps these kids or someone else make a right decision later, then we've won. That is ultimately what we are here for, to help them grow and mature to become better sons, fathers, husbands and members of society… They are good young men who made poor choices, and we will continue to support them as members of our team and family."
Big advantage: Hoke.
That said, the reality — sadly — is that if Jenkins and A&M beat Florida next week and a Toussaint-less Michigan gets clocked by Alabama tomorrow, Aggie fans will approve of Sumlin's backtrack and Wolverine fans will question Hoke's choice.
That's too bad. Because in cases like these, if you're going to have discipline you shouldn't pick and choose when it will be meted out based upon your upcoming opponent's skill level. Sumlin is hardly the first coach to go that route, of course. But we at MrSEC.com would be a lot more impressed if he'd stuck to his guns in this matter, his first true test as Aggie head coach.

A recent tweet by former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb is getting a lot of attention.
On Wednesday, the same day the New England Patriot's Aaron Hernandez was arrested and charged with murder, McNabb took to his Twitter account at 5:04 p.m. and posted the following question to his 29,000 followers:
Could this be the end of Aaron Hernandez NFL career? Your thoughts?
McNabb may be asking a very obvious question, since the Patriots immediately let Hernandez go.
The question was retweeted more than 400 times and favorited about 100 times by Twitter followers of "@donovanjmcnabb," who is a six-time Pro Bowler and now an NFL Network analyst.
Hernandez, who played tight end for New England, is being held without bail and his next court appearance is set for July 24.
